Power Detector compatible with Agilent 8756A NetworkAnalyzer - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Hello Ashish and welcome to the TM Forum,

This NA is obsolete. The detectors for use with this NA are the 11664A/B series. The link below is to the user manual. It lists all the measurement components used with this NA. I suggest downloading it (pdf) for future reference. Agilent has a habit of removing obsolete equipment documentation without notice.

Good Luck,

Thank you for your your help. I know that the NA is obselete, however I have no other option. I want to know whether there is any other Power Detector which can be used with this SNA(8756) and also will be useful when I upgrade to a better SNA
